Provenance

Where it came from

Polteageist, a Ghost-type Pokémon introduced in the eighth generation, debuted in the Sword and Shield series. This specific card, numbered 098/197, was released in the 2023 Obsidian Flames expansion. The set was designed to introduce the Terastal phenomenon to the Pokémon Trading Card Game, featuring cards with unique type-shifting mechanics that reflect the visual aesthetic of the Scarlet and Violet video games.

The artwork for this card was illustrated by kurumitsu, who has become known for a distinctively clean and vibrant style within the TCG. By focusing on the playful, tea-themed essence of the creature, the illustration captures the creature's lore as a poltergeist residing within a discarded teapot. The card serves as an uncommon staple in the Obsidian Flames set, valued primarily for its functional role in gameplay rather than as a rare collector's chase piece.
